        Caring for People with Paraplegia

        Assessment, Problems, Interventions and Evaluation

        by Ute Haas

        Paraplegia generally means a sudden, although sometimes gradual, change in the lives of those affected and their relatives, which challenges all previous behavior patterns and life activities. Caring for and looking after people with this condition is very challenging and demands thorough knowledge and special skills on the part of caregivers as well as close interdisciplinary cooperation.  The second edition has been updated and expanded in light of new scientific and practice-related findings concerning respiratory and excretion problems, including surgical procedures on the intestines, pressure sores and pain, as well as body image. The theoretical frame of reference for the care process in the form of Gordon’s functional health patterns is explained and illustrated in a new chapter for all process elements.

        Peritoneal Dialysis

        Clinical Guide for Nurses

        by Christa Tast / Thomas Mettang

        Peritoneal dialysis is an important renal replacement therapy for people whose kidneys no longer adequately filter urinary substances. It enables patients and their relatives to take responsibility for their own therapy. Physicians and nurses are therefore challenged to provide patients and relatives with the necessary skills for autonomous care. This practical handbook conveys the necessary knowledge and skills in a clear, up-to-date and comprehensible manner.

        Living Through Uncertainty and Insecurity

        How to Deal with People in Unpredictable Life and Health Situations?

        by Thomas Hax-Schoppenhorst / Jürgen Georg

        Uncertainty manifests itself in local and everyday life contexts, but also in the global biodiversity, the coronavirus pandemic and climate crises as well as the wars of these days. Since nothing seems to be as certain as uncertainty anymore, it is about to become the defining phenomenon of our time. In this context, uncertainty and insecurity also frequently occur in connection with acute and chronic health situations. The authors define and differentiate the concepts of uncertainty, insecurity and risk and illuminate their facets from a nursing, medical, sociological, psychological, and theological perspective.

        What We Can Still Do!

        Basal Stimulation in End-of-life Care

        by Stephan Kostrzewa / Marion Kutzner

        Meeting those who are dying often leaves people feeling helpless and lost for words. Nurses face the questions “What can we still do?” and “How can we provide adequate support for the dying on their final journey?” The authors answer these questions by transferring the concept of basal stimulation to support for the dying and describe its possible applications in palliative care and hospice work. They document the differences between end-of-life care in hospices, hospitals and retirement homes. They describe how peoples’ experience, perception and bodily functions change during the dying process and what alleviates their symptoms. In so doing, they also demonstrate how nurses overcome hesitancy and insecurity through touch and support and allow hands and gestures to talk when verbal language falls silent.

        On Female Territory

        Portraits of Male Care Workers

        by Sabine Meisel / Edita Truninger

        The book portrays men between the ages of 23 and 65, who work in caring professions in different areas, such as nursing homes, acute care clinics, home care, outpatient care and psychiatry, providing readers with an insight into their biographies. The protagonists recount in a candid way what motivated their career choice. Did they become aware of it through their environment or through personal experience? Which barriers did they have to overcome in the process of choosing a career? What do they think of their role as an exotic species in female-dominated teams? At which point did they begin to question the prevailing norms of gender identities?And what did that do for their own idea of masculinity? These portraits are enriched by five personal essays written by representatives from the Swiss healthcare sector who have been in the caring profession for a long time.

        Integration of Foreign Employees in Nursing

        Theories, Concepts as Well as Pedagogical Experiences and Framework Recommendations for Practice

        by Michael Bossle / Horst Kunhardt

        The shortage of skilled nursing staff is glaring. Staffing needs will increase strongly due to retirements over the next ten years. To improve the situation, professional associations are calling for better working and general conditions, adequate staffing and remuneration, greater investment in training and professional development, and more decision-making powers for nursing professionals in the healthcare system. Recruiting and integrating foreign nursing professionals is an important element in reducing the shortage of skilled workers.

        Nurse Writers of the Great War

        by Christine Hallett, Christine Hallett, Jane Schultz

        The First World War was the first 'total war'. Its industrial weaponry damaged millions of men and drove whole armies underground into dangerously unhealthy trenches. Many were killed. Many more suffered terrible, life-threatening injuries: wound infections such as gas gangrene and tetanus, exposure to extremes of temperature, emotional trauma and systemic disease. In an effort to alleviate this suffering, tens of thousands of women volunteered to serve as nurses. Of these, some were experienced professionals, while others had undergone only minimal training. But regardless of their preparation, they would all gain a unique understanding of the conditions of industrial warfare. Until recently their contributions, both to the saving of lives and to our understanding of warfare, have remained largely hidden from view. By combining biographical research with textual analysis, Nurse writers of the great war opens a window onto their insights into the nature of nursing and the impact of warfare. ;
